After dinner, Darius. Marcel and Theo went to question Liam. We wanted to be there, but I knew why they told us to stay behind.
Although Darius said he wanted to see if Liam would trust them enough to talk and if he proves difficult, we will speak to him kindly and get the information out. I know that wasn’t Darius’s reason, but I let it be.
We had been through too much that day for me to argue with him.
I could see his desperation. He spoke with the two people he would have never spoken to under normal circumstances, especially Hardy.
I knew the cards bothered him. However calm he tried to be, I knew he
was troubled by the cards, and so was I
Safety and peace had become paramount, and I looked forward to solving
the matter.
Kara and Eloise followed me to my room. Nellie met us in the hallway, looking troubled, and I knew something was off.
“Luna,” I said, and she smiled at me, but her smile did not touch her eyes. Her body language was off, and I wondered what might have transpired between her, Abelardo, Jake and Neva during dinner.
Darius still refused to eat with them, and I knew it was because he loved cating with his friends. It wasn’t personal, although since Jake was with us, I planned on having breakfast together to show respect and appreciation.
“Where is Darius?” she asked, and I frowned.

“Working“” I said, and she nodded. Her hand had a slight tremble and did not seem at ease. She was clutching her phone tightly.
“Nellie,” I linked her, worried, and she looked away.
“Please see me when you are through with your friends. It is urgent.” she linked back.
“Jake?” I asked through the mind link, and she shook her head.
“No, Please see me,” she said and walked away.
“What is with her? One minute she is happy, the next, she is a trembling mess. Did she not arrive at the mansion in high spirits? I swear I saw some chemistry between her and Jake, but now she is a mess,” Kara said, and I ushered my friends into my room.
“I doubt it has anything to do with Jake,” Eloise said, and I wondered how Eloise could sum that up.
“How do you know?” Kara asked.
“She was clutching her phone too tightly,” Eloise said, and we all laughed, but I was worried.
We all sat down to have some tea. I linked a servant to serve us tea.
“Congratulations, Kara, I never got to congratulate you personally,” I said, resting my hand on her lap, and she beamed at me.
“Thank you, Zora. I am so excited. I welcome the morning sickness and everything. I am thrilled, and Marcel has been over the moon about it,” she said and then looked at Eloise.
“I am sorry that I made you uncomfortable all this while. It wasn’t deliberate, I just..” she said, about to get emotional, but Eloise stopped her.

“You have nothing to apologise for Kara. I know the feeling. Trust me. I lived it. Besides, it is natural for you to feel that way. Although it made me want to stay away from you, I wasn’t mad.” She said, and we all laughed.
The tea came, and I told the Omega to leave after she had placed the tray on the coffee table.
“How long do you think questioning Liam would take?” Eloise asked, and I shrugged.
“They should have let us in on the fun, too, I am bored,” Eloise said, and I sighed
“Liam is a child. Eloise, he just turned seventeen. It is sad that those sick bastards would want to use him like this I did not think I would have been able to handle seeing the poor boy tortured If you hear his back story, you can’t help but feel sorry for him I doubt I can handle his pain, but Amy, his mother, is another ball game,” I said, feeling rage towards the mother that had failed her son on every level.
I get that she had misgivings with the Hands, if any. I get that she believes she is fighting a cause, but why get her son involved? No matter what anyone said about the bitch, I knew she was involved. She was way too lenient about Liam moving to the west and went out of her way to fulfil an odd request. She did not act as a mother should.
I would have believed otherwise if Christian did not say she was his
mother.
There was just no excuse. So her son did not have friends. Neither did I have friends when I was growing up. It was no excuse, and I wanted to get the truth out of her.
“So you think it is the mother?” Kara asked, and I nodded.
“The signs are there. Even if she did not do it directly, she had facilitated

it,” I said, and Kara cursed.
“I will be a mother soon; I will never do that to my baby. If I want to be evil, I will leave my child out of it, even if I believe I am fighting for a just cause. I still won’t get my baby involved in a treasonous act,” she said, and Eloise shrugged.
“It wouldn’t really matter, Kara. I believe this Amy bitch knew it, so she made the most of the situation. If Amy is involved in treason against the royals and the nobles, her entire family will go down for it. She will be executed, and they will be exiled. It is all or nothing. That is the law. Every family should be disciplined and put in check. Everyone is responsible for everyone. That was why they tried to frame Abelardo.
If Abelardo had gone down for that shit, Darius would have had to step down to be investigated. It was all targeted at Darius, and I am glad Abelardo could see it eventually.
I am curious about what Larry’s role is in all this,” she said, reminding us of the man who was once a problem but somehow had faded into the dark. He was in the council, but he barely spoke or acted. Could he be pulling some strings in the background to get back at everyone for the humiliation he suffered?
“Larry..” Kara said, realising we never really thought of the guy.
“We need to look into Larry,” Eloise said, and I nodded.
“Noted. Who we need to focus on now is Amy. I am sure she has a lot to tell us. I also learned she is a Delta like us, so there should be no hard feelings when we apply force,” I said, and Kara shook her head.
“I doubt I can do anything physical,” she said, and I nodded.
“I will have an enforcer there to help us out. It would have been nice to do it alone, seeing how she failed to protect her son, but an enforcer will be great too.” I said, and we discussed other things.
